@BikeMryson @patersonmonday it’s time for working class people to take things into their own hands, not wait for policy change or enforcement.

Landlords are expecting Parkdale renters to have perfect credit and millionaire guarantors.

No one who lives at West Lodge now would pass these tests.

This is another form of displacement.

Landlords don’t just use evictions to harm working class tenants.

[Parkdale Organize @ParkdaleOrg]

The @west_lodge tenant committee has learned about countless rental applications being rejected at their building.

Even though 200 apartments sit vacant, renters with proof of ample income, sometimes well above the median household income in Parkdale, are being turned away.

We won’t let Evan and Neil evict our neigubours.

Just across from us on Lansdowne, landlords are trying to use sublet scams and legal loopholes to evict our neighbours.

Support Parkdale tenants by calling and emailing Evan and Neil!

12 Lansdowne Update: Evan Johnsen and Neil Speigel have threatened to force 2 tenants out of their homes this month.

Evan and Neil, notorious for ‘renovictions’ have found a sneaky way to evict tenants faster than an N13.

One unit for our food bank might seem small compared to a plot of land or a complex of “affordable” housing.

but we didn’t buy it, we didn’t ask the state to do it for us.

we organized and we took it. just regular Parkdale people.

and we’re still here, a year later.

[Parkdale Organize @ParkdaleOrg]

One year ago, @west_lodge moved into their current unit at 103 West Lodge.

In doing so, we were able to draw attention to the over 200 vacant units at the West Lodge towers while distributing food to our neighbours struggling during the pandemic.

BREAKING: Landlords Neil Spiegel and Evan Johnsen target Parkdale organizers with eviction for "illegal acts" after tenants hang banners to fight their renoviction.

our hearings have been adjourned, once again.

the LTB blitzes through evictions when tenants don’t have representation, but when they do the landlords stubbornly fight every step of the way.

[West Lodge Tenants - No COVID Evictions! @west_lodge]

Logged in at 9am.

1:22pm, finally beginning our hearings after much stalling and argument from landlord counsel.

[West Lodge Tenants - No COVID Evictions! @west_lodge]

We have a message for Hazelview from West Lodge.

Join the eviction hearings tomorrow at 9AM to observe Hazelview continue their attempts to clear out the West Lodge towers. And as we make it clear that we have no intention of abandoning our homes.

Currently going through an uncontested matter, which means the tenant is not here to contest the eviction.

[West Lodge Tenants - No COVID Evictions! @west_lodge]

Hearings will begin shortly. Join as an observer.

Once you’re in, the moderator will need to speak with you so they know which hearings you’re there for and rename you. Tell them you’re observing West Lodge.

[West Lodge Tenants - No COVID Evictions! @west_lodge]

about to begin, more than 75 observers are in the room.

We have the support of neighbours from our building and across Parkdale.

Attacks on organized, working class tenants won’t happen behind closed doors!

[West Lodge Tenants - No COVID Evictions! @west_lodge]

Member Priest is dealing with another matter first.

Just waiting in here with more than 40 observers.

The LTB demands so much time and energy from tenants.

All this could be avoided if Hazelview was willing to negotiate with tenants.
